The Ever Given, a container ship almost as long as the Empire State Building is tall, ran aground in the Egyptian canal on Tuesday after being caught in 40-knot winds and a sandstorm.Since then, dredgers have been working to remove vast quantities of sand and mud from around the port side of the 224,000-ton vessel's bow. A senior Suez Canal pilot told CNN the gigantic container ship could be dislodged by Saturday evening.
The blockage, in what is one of the world's busiest and most important waterways, could have a major impact on already stretched global supply chains, with disruption escalating with each day that passes. Pulling powerIf the latest attempt to refloat the ship fails, the vessel -- which measures 400 meters long and 59 meters wide -- could still be freed by"early next week," according to plans laid out by the head of a Dutch salvage company.
No goods going to America as Media hyping up the possibility of shortages ... Fake news
No comment..
Why dont they Dame the water and float the evergreen out?
🙈 watch rare moment 😂
Stuck ship is Nature's way to get Humans to think about Stuff in our World. What is inside those containers? Can it help cleanup our environment? Is it medical supplies desperately needed somewhere? Or is it just EXTRA STUFF & 200 ships or more behind what in those ships?
I heard tugboat is on the way!
It is better to discharg the cargo to a smaller ships so it can be flow up and dislodged
Taiwan can help.
Wow actually doing news an Not Propaganda?
Alright everyone get behind and push....
Shame on Taiwan I am sorry the Taiwan province of china did such a bad thing to the world
It's al about the money money 💰💰💰💰💰💰💰 😂😅
Are shipping companies lining up behind the queue or they will go around around the cape of good hope .
Some how this is repulsive republicans fault
Although it is already old news I would like to relate few universal side notes on the impact Suez Canal actually has as far as maritime trade is concerned.
Where's Superman when you need him?
HINT: It’s not going well... Trust me, I’ve been watching this circus for 5 days. Maybe a 2nd digger would help? Just sayin’... MOOOOOVE suez SuezBLOCKED suezcanel

May be they need remote controlled underwater dredgers to dig the ship out of the sand?
Hook couple helicopters to the ship
Here is my colouring book page link: Art sympol:
Someone said to me: I hope there are no stowaways in any of those containers. It happens so often these days 😱
Have they ever considered widening the canal at some point to avoid bullshit like this?
Where can we follow the salvage live please?
I would think that a country controlling an economic asset like the Suez Canal would have the emergency equipment to handle just about any problem...what if the ship sank?
Get on it... this is actually costing millions of dollars every minute... yes minute..
Overloaded? Or the captain took a nap
Hook a bunch of the waiting big ships together and pull it backwards.
I understood 10th-grade math. The shipping company does not. Now, I have to pay $? No! Fine them! tradegovukIND
It's 2200 in Cairo gents, little is being done at night, it's too dangerous.
Stop brown people including children from this shitty countries to come to United States tell this to your president
So how do they unload those? Cant you start unloading cargo and putting on ships on front of it?
Quite frankly that vessel is far too large and probably overloaded. Where are the checks and balances to avoid such disasters Egypt?
Just saying.
PIT it with a Crown Vic.
Wow & Gosh!!!
As it should come to noone's suprise, the ship's a rooskie. Count on the rooskies to 'accidentally' cause shit to make oil prices grow.
I'm thinking it's going something like this
China has crossed international borders in Taiwan since this incident testing the boundaries. This is a disaster. The new Belt with China Iran and Egypt goes along Coast of Africa. Removing weight from bow would be the obvious answer people would think.
Demonic CNN, the more the world understands how corrupt CNN is, the more the world would become a better place to live.
Never understood why they didn’t hook up a bunch of tug boats and turn the ship?
Really? How about fines, numbered of fired? For not understanding high school math?
A big vessel like that and they don’t even have Four Wheel Drive. Unreal.
